Chapter 542 - 536: Preparing to Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
The Peacock Great Ming King is not skilled at making battle plans, so he needs Elder Bai to give him some guidance in advance.
At this moment, Elder Bai naturally already has a plan in mind.
Only to hear Elder Bai slowly narrate: "Once I force Dingguang Buddha out, the battlefield at Silent Sea will inevitably fall into a prolonged stalemate."
"At that time, if Lady Ming King wants to end this prolonged battle, there is only one way, which is for her to actively summon one or two Buddhas to come and end the battle as quickly as possible."
"Of course, there is also another possibility, which is that Lady Ming King continues to drag things out with us, believing that she can still win in the long run."
"If Lady Ming King actively summons a Buddha to support, that would be for the best. At that time, the Great Ming King need not worry about us and can head straight to the headquarters of the World Honored One Sect, forcibly act alongside Guanyin Bodhisattva, and open the Buddha Prison to let Manjushri Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva escape. The rest, Lin Yuan will assist you with."
"If Lady Ming King does not actively summon a Buddha and wants to continue dragging things out with us, then we should force her to summon a Buddha."
Upon hearing Elder Bai’s words, the Peacock Great Ming King promptly inquired: "How to force her to summon a Buddha?"
"Three days."
"Once I force Dingguang Buddha out, you wait for three days. Within those three days, if Lady Ming King does not actively summon a Buddha to come."
"Then, you should go find Guanyin Bodhisattva and let him do this..." Elder Bai disclosed his plan to the Peacock Great Ming King.
After hearing Elder Bai’s plan, the Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t help but admire it.
The plan was truly brilliant.
Given the Peacock Great Ming King’s understanding of Lady Ming King, that woman, in order to ensure her safety, will definitely summon a Buddha to protect herself.
After arranging everything, Elder Bai did not hesitate further, directly revealing his true form and heading towards the battlefield where Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder and Infinite Buddha were engaged.
Infinite Buddha facing the attack from Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder had always been in a defensive posture.
Seeing Elder Bai charge in as well, he immediately felt overwhelmed.
Two against one?
He simply didn’t have the skill for that.
If truly trapped in a siege, at most after dozens of rounds, he would be severely injured.
After two or three hundred rounds, he would face death and annihilation.
Everyone knows that the old turtle surnamed Bai is adept at arrays. Once he sets up the array, it becomes his home turf.
Thinking of this, Infinite Buddha did not hesitate, directly shouting: "Dingguang Buddha, save me!"
Dingguang Buddha must act first to hold off the old turtle surnamed Bai, preventing him from having the chance to set up the array.
Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha are also a pair of good friends.
Their relationship was no less than the relationship between the Peacock Great Ming King and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Therefore, upon hearing Infinite Buddha’s call for help, Dingguang Buddha immediately showed up to confront Elder Bai.
"What’s Dingguang Buddha doing?"
"Why not wait for my orders!" Seeing this, Lady Ming King was furious, feeling her authority challenged.
However, Dingguang Buddha is from the old school of Buddhas, facing her, Lady Ming King couldn’t punish him, and could only be angry in vain.
Guangzhi Arhat next to her couldn’t say much either, only trying to smooth things over by saying: "The situation is urgent; Dingguang Buddha’s flexibility is understandable."
Lady Ming King understood too that she couldn’t do anything about Dingguang Buddha. Guangzhi Arhat gave her a way out, so she decided to let it go.
"The old turtle surnamed Bai, Qingqiu Mountain fox spirits, Golden-Winged Roc, Black Bear Spirit, all four have acted."
"It seems they have no more cards to play. The only card left is the Peacock Great Ming King."
"If Guanyin Bodhisattva speaks truly, Peacock Great Ming King is now in the Void, and they have no more tricks left!" Lady Ming King muttered to herself.
After a round of muttering, Lady Ming King took out a mirror.
This mirror is a set of Mother-Child mirrors; the one in Lady Ming King’s hand is the Child Mirror, and the Mother Mirror is with Medicine King Buddha.
Medicine King Buddha stationed at the headquarters is observing the entire battlefield at Silent Sea through the Mother Mirror.
At this moment, Lady Ming King took out the Child Mirror to contact Medicine King Buddha, to inquire whether to summon several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to directly close the net.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to directly eliminate Elder Bai and the others.
Producing the Child Mirror, casting a spell with a pinch, the image of Medicine King Buddha’s head appeared on the mirror.
"Medicine King Buddha, the old turtle surnamed Bai and the others have all appeared."
"Should we summon several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to completely wipe them out!" Lady Ming King said through clenched teeth.
Among the opponents of the World Honored One, Elder Bai and his group are the most active, hence Lady Ming King hates them deeply.
Summoning other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is not something Lady Ming King can decide on her own; she must consult with Medicine King Buddha and get his approval to proceed with the next step.
"I have been observing the battlefield through the Mother Mirror consistently, and now is indeed a good opportunity to wipe out the old turtle surnamed Bai and his group."
"But, do not forget, this time the command from the World Honored One is to eradicate Silent Sea and kill Black Dragon Heaven."
"The World Honored One is never wrong, so the key for us in this battle is to kill Black Dragon Heaven."
"We should deal with Black Dragon Heaven first, and afterwards, if possible, then deal with the old turtle surnamed Bai!" Medicine King Buddha analyzed rationally.
Lady Ming King dared not defy the command of the World Honored One, so she responded: "Very well, I will first order the sect members to speed up the attack to quickly deal with Black Dragon Heaven."
With the order accepted, Lady Ming King ended the communication with Medicine King Buddha.
"Order them to accelerate the attack pace, at all costs, eliminate Black Dragon Heaven, and wipe out his followers." Lady Ming King issued the command.
This time, Lady Ming King brought a large number of followers; if not facing Tier Two Peak experts like Elder Bai and others, just dealing with Black Dragon Heaven, the followers she led would already be enough.
...
...
The great battle continues, the Peacock Great Ming King, following Elder Bai’s arrangement, patiently waits for three days.
Three days later, Lady Ming King showed no sign of summoning Buddhas or Bodhisattvas for support.
"Lin Yuan, I have to go!" The Peacock Great Ming King prepared to leave.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Great Ming King, as Elder Bai arranged, break into Buddha Prison, open its doors and release Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva."
"At that time, try to drag out the Tier Two Peak experts from the sect; the rest, I will assist them."
"Understood!" The Peacock Great Ming King responded, and with a flash, disappeared.
When the Peacock Great Ming King reappeared, he had already arrived at the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At this moment, within Guanyin Bodhisattva’s temple, Guanyin Bodhisattva is still drinking and discussing the Dao with Duomu Arhat.
Nonetheless, having experienced being drunk last time, Duomu Arhat had learned a lesson, controlling his alcohol intake, and didn’t dare drink too much.
Seeing Duomu Arhat there, the Peacock Great Ming King didn’t reveal himself, instead opting to send a message secretly to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
